Friends, family members and neighbors of the late Cynthia Osokogu last night gathered at the St Morumba Catholic Church, Jos, for a necessary rite, which will culminate in her remains being interred in Delta State on Friday.

The service was officiated by the parish priest of St Murumba, Jos , Revd. Father Philip Dung. He was assisted by Revd. Father Peter Ucun, the principal, St Murumba College, Jos.

In his sermon, the parish priest, Rev Father Dung, said “Cynthia did not die for nothing because she died a Christian. She never allowed her educational career and her business to deprive her from worshipping her creator. But we need to say this loud and clear to whoever cares to listen, the death of Cynthia is another sad report card of our nation that fails to protect its citizens. The case of Cynthia may be one out of many.

“It is time for government to shift attention to the kind of havoc caused by ICT. We focused too much attention on fighting Boko Haram and other forms of terrorism. It is time to focus on cyber made terrorism because it has claimed lives of many Nigerians silently.

“The case of Cynthia should be used to salvage other potential victims of cyber crime because it is obvious that there are so many Nigerians who have gone through more terrible experiences than that of the late Cynthia.”

Giving testimony on behalf of the family, Mr. Ralph Monye said “Friends and relations, I will tell you not to weep for Cynthia; you rather weep for her killers because they have committed crime that cannot be compounded. In law, it means it cannot be settled amicably with the killers. I wonder how God almighty will forgive them, but I wish God forgives them.”

andyanders: This is not even cyber crime case but that of social media and individual attitude towards anything that comes their way.

Young ladies should focus on improving their life through education and not getting committed to social media life with current waive of ping me and ping you issue. Social media networks should be used for improving one's life and not on social ills in which Cynthia happens to be a victim. She developed trust on people she never met. People should be security conscious and always liaise with the Security network when meeting people they do not know. Also, always tell people where you are going to and who you are meeting.

Never display this attitude " I AM A BIG GIRL" That big girl thing or big boy thing has destroyed many youths. After going through the University, they start claiming that they have arrived. Take your time to study the outside world and understand the world and environment around you. Trust nobody, deal with people holding yourself in a position that you can have advantage of. Look b4 you leap. Never trust even a friend you lost contact of after 3 months. Try to understudy that person to know if he is still the person you knew b4. Try to find out the person you are dealing with, with a complete background check of that person.
Nigeria is getting complex and people should understand that even close relations should not be trusted if you do not understand the kind of live that person lives. Do not jump into a car you do not know who the person is. The way our ladies jump into cars is something to worry about. I keep asking, where is she going that she saw a car flagged the car down and in she goes. DO you know who you are with ladies? Be careful because that might turn out to be the end of you as we have ritualists out there. You might turn up to be their next victim.

She did not go to Lagos for socializing o, she went to do business, with her vibr ator (every woman's best friend, so I heard).

Nothing bad about doing business on a social network, most big companies meet their customers that way. What she should have done is have someone accompany her or she could have even met with her assailant on neutral ground.
